BisonCares — 24/7 mental health support options

We know you have a lot on your mind so we made accessing support easy so that you can choose an option that works best for you. The BisonCares program, powered by Uwill, offers Southwestern Law students a variety of free support options and tools designed to help you mentally and emotionally. Through our partnership with Uwill, students receive free immediate access to teletherapy, crisis support, and wellness.

Wherever you are, there’s someone you can trust as close as your phone, iPad, or laptop. BisonCares provides an immediate teletherapy appointment with a licensed counselor based on student needs and preferences. Choose a therapist based on immediacy, gender, language, and focus area, and select a time that works best, with day, evening, and weekend appointments. Students will receive up to six sessions per academic year.
